Two cells of emfs $E_1$ and $E_2$ and internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2$ ($E_2 > E_1$ and $r_2 > r_1$) respectively,are connected in parallel as shown in the figure. The equivalent emf of the combination is $E_{eq}$. Then

  • A
    $E_1 < E_{eq} < E_2$ and $E_{eq}$ is nearer $E_2$
  • B
    $E_{eq} > E_2$
  • C
    $E_{eq} < E_1$
  • D
    $E_1 < E_{eq} < E_2$ and $E_{eq}$ is nearer $E_1$

Eels are able to generate current with biological cells called electroplaques. The electroplaques in an eel are arranged in $100$ rows,each row stretching horizontally along the body of the fish containing $5000$ electroplaques. The arrangement is shown below. Each electroplaque has an emf of $0.15\, V$ and internal resistance of $0.25\,\Omega$. The water surrounding the eel completes a circuit between the head and its tail. If the water surrounding it has a resistance of $500\,\Omega$,the current an eel can produce in water is about .............. $A$.

Two cells with same emf $E$ but different internal resistances,$r_1$ and $r_2$,are connected in series to an external resistance $R$. If the potential difference across the first cell is zero,then the value of $R$ is

Two cells of equal $e.m.f.$ $E$ and of internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2$ $(r_1 > r_2)$ are connected in series. Now they are connected to an external resistance $R$. It is observed that the potential difference across the first cell becomes zero. The value of $R$ will be:

$12$ cells,each having the same emf $E$ and internal resistance $r$,are connected in series and kept in a closed box. Some of the cells are wrongly connected. This battery is connected in series with an ammeter and two cells,each identical to the previous cells. The current is $3 \, A$ when the external cells aid the battery and $2 \, A$ when the external cells oppose the battery. How many cells in the battery are wrongly connected?
